How to Pick a Maxi Dress for Any Shape

 It’s almost summertime and it’s the season for summer dresses of all kinds. Mini dresses, midi dresses, and the always popular maxi dress.






I love the way that Maxi dresses look…on other people!  My short stature has made me afraid that pulling of this look would be too difficult.  Which got me thinking, what style maxi dress would look best on my body type?  After researching a few articles, I put together tips on how to pick a maxi dress for any shape. Enjoy!

How to pick a maxi dress for any shape

Petite shape

If you are petite, pick a High Waistline Maxi Dress and avoid large prints that would overwhelm your size.

Apple shape

This is where I fit in.  Busy patterns and eye catching prints will help slim the tummy area. I don’t know about you but slimming my tummy is a plus!

Busty 

Ladies with an ample bosom need to pick a V- Neck Maxi Dress. It will help balance out your top half. 

Plus Size

Plus size women should look for wide straps or cap sleeves in a V Neck style.  Also, avoid clingy fabrics, but not too loose of a dress. Don’t be afraid to show off your curves.

Boyish

If you are more on the thin side, look for a Maxi dress that has a gather at the waist or belt to create the illusion of curves. Or, wear a fitted dress.

Pear Shape

To my girls that are all about that base, bout that base, Empire Waist Maxi Dresses will accentuate your slim part while flowing over your bottom half.

Hourglass shape

Well, lucky you! You can wear just about any type of maxi dress. Fit and flare style dresses will look great on you. As well as this body con maxi dress.
